Dookie

Schon ganz geil!

Поп Панк для работяг

Couple of bangers.

Great album, nostalgic one for me

I don’t really care if this is punk or not. The argument doesn’t feel important. I like this album. Brings back good memories. “We love the whiny and dulcet tones of Billy Joe Armstrong.” We all say together.

The most pop punk a pop punk album can be, very fun and infectious. I do think if it went any longer it would not be as enjoyable but as it stands it’s pretty good the hits are undeniable with some very good deep cuts but a bit of filler too

A very good punk rock album.

Obviously it’s pop punk so it speaks to teenagers really well, but I think part of the magic in here is that the lyrics speak just enough to the feeling of being trapped in life going its own way and you’re burning out on that path when you just want to kill some time and find your motivation again that it sort of works on a universal level and can keep up with you. It also sounds great obviously, they’re very good at putting some technical flair into playing fast punk this whole time and then you’ve got some killer breakdowns (Welcome to Paradise always sticking with me) and smart sections of pulling off the gas here and there. It’s a hell of a shot across the bow for 1994 and I’ll only blame it a bit for unleashing the beast of pop punk with all its other worse heads (and making Green Day really keep shambling along).

It's noisy, has punky drums good tunes and harmonies. What's not to like?

Great, classic

4/5

Not my style, but can't argue with the love it gets.

An absolute classic. This album was such a good gateway to punk for kids of my generation. Melodic enough to not turn you off, but still rough around the edges and simple enough to give you a good idea of what the genre could offer.

I know this one already

I heard this one a lot since our boys had it on repeat constantly

A post-punk album with so many popular songs on it. I mainly had a problem with his voice. It’s a very whiny nasally sound. The music aspect of the album is great. The bass and drums are firing on all cylinders. The lyrics are great. This is one of those albums that made Green Day so popular and its place on this list is well earned.

classic one for me as a youth. not consistent for the whole thing to get to 5 for me though

This album was a refreshing production at the time it was released. Some fun songs on here and Billy also write some songs about the mundane everyday things in life too.

Been hearing the hits since the 90's and never heard the album. A lot of songs about being alone and masturbating lol. That said, I like the melodies and riffs, dig the bass (which is really picked out and mixed well), and the darker existentialist songs that portend their later work after the turn of the millennium. Upbeat, chunky music with a punk aesthetic. Dig.

В мене Грін Дей почався з American Idiot і я не відразу викупив стару творчість. Змінило ставлення запис їх лайву Bullet in a Bible (топовий концерт), де було багато старих пісень і там вже я підзалип на старі альбоми. Дуже хітова музика, у Джоела чудове відчуття на приспіви. Всі вони ще й хороші музиканти. Заслужена класика поп-панку, яка на дуже багатьох рівнях вплинула на економіку навколо панк-музики.

Класика, а також альбом який вивів панкрок у мейнстрім.

Interesting perspective: a premature American emo boy working at some sadistic monotone American coffee shop.

Klassiker, lite skränig, så man får vara på rätt nivå när man lyssnar. Är man det är det dock ett grymt album. Inget fan av långa pauser på sista låten.

Great album, a few misses in the back half but it really is a strong one

Pop punk at its finest, their melodicism and chops shine through with a bunch of great songs--"Longview," "Basket Case," "Welcome to Paradise," "When I Come Around." But, listening again, the album kind of peters out toward the end with same sounding songs and an Adam Sandler sounding song, "All By Myself," as the closer. Still, this is a great album and a time capsule of mid 90's rock.

Fully rating this off nostalgia

This album represents what punk music could be if it weren't too busy trying to make people hate it. While expressing ideas that run afoul of the status quo, Green Day makes a strong case for its blend of contemporary rock and punk stylings. The guitar riffs are simple but not so simple that they become irritating, and the other instruments in the ensemble provide technically engaging music without devolving into the un-orchestrated noise of most punk rock.

This is pop-punk, yes, but it's high quality pop-punk. Clever arrangements, tight performances, strong production, all proving that you can play aggressive, snarky music without sacrificing the musicality. As a bass player, I'm a huge fan of what Mike Dirnt does on this album (and throughout the rest of the Green Day oeuvre). Good stuff.

The best Green Day album.

Was Dookie the best album name they could come up with? Banger tho Fave track: When I Come Around

Vintage Green Day. I wonder if American Idiot made the cut. 4/5

3.8

This takes me back.

Gran álbum

7/10

The culmination of all the influences that came before them, with elements of bands like The Clash, Husker Du and Minor Threat mixing with the melodic sensibilities of American pop and surf rock of the 60s like The Monkees and The Beach Boys. It all mashes together into something genuinely fresh for the time. It's catchy, it's melodic, it's youthful and cheeky with an edge given by it's punk and hardcore forebearers. You can really see how they became this all conquering pop punk megaband later on, the seeds are planted here.

I've been writing too much, and I should probably start keeping it simple. So, in the spirit of this album, here's simple: I like this album. It's groundbreaking, it spawned essentially a whole new genre. It's polished and still sounds fresh now. I love Billie Joe's voice, and Mike Dirnt is an amazing bass player. Tré Cool is one of the coolest drummers in the genre. Some of these songs are the base layer of what pop-punk should be. It's influential, and still rocks.

So. Much. Fun.

Morceau préférées : 10 : When I Come Around

great listen

One of if not Green Day’s best album. I’m biased because I saw the full play through at Reading years ago. But it’s early pop punk when it was something to enjoy and not just whiny. You e got the obvious classics but in fairness it’s an album with multiple classics, “She”, “Longview”, “Basket Case”, “When I Come Around”. I wouldn’t put it as an all timer album. But a great intro to anyone for Green Day.

Grandios.

This is good stuff. Lots of classics and I dig the way that they structure their songs despite the sameness of it

An upbeat and invigorating thrill, the biggest hits shine above the rest but the album still serves well as a definitive collection of songs to be rebellious to

Guys, I wanna be an angry teen again; I don’t think I did it right the first time around.

A truly classic album with some absolute classic songs. Basket Case and When I Come Around are rightly hailed as pop punk all timers and I think they still sound amazing. Of the Green Day albums we've had I do prefer American Idiot for its ambition and scope but I do think these songs are so tight I do think it's fascinating that Green Day did their 30th anniversary of Dookie/20th anniversary of American Idiot combined tour, and I love looking at the evolution over that time. Songs that were new to me that I loved: She, Burnout, In the End

Fabulous.

Full of energy

*1994 skate punk Longview Welcome to paradise Basket case

Pretty great listen, nice and catchy, makes you forget the songs sound pretty similar.

Some great tunes on here. Don’t love everything Green day put out but enjoyed most of this. This album is proper nostalgia. Great 90s punk.

This is my first listen to the entire Dookie album. I love the singles, and the rest of the album is pretty solid too.

pretty good album. amazing tracks that never bore you.

goed begint met de eerste tracks een beetje eentonig Longview leuk bleh bleh bleh zangstijl niet mijn ding pulling teeth ook heel goed

I see the appeal of green day and this album and stuff def a good vibing album and once u listen the lyrics actually hold meaning

2026.07.21.

Overall a good listen, with a good mix of hits and variation.

O álbum mais Green Day possível, muito bom, gostei dos riffs e da bateria.

Amazing album with understrd gems such as sassafras roots

ENJOYED 8/10 Always enjoyed the singles from this album. Would listen again

Gave me high school vibes. All songs sound the exactly same, but who cares.

Good album. I was never a fan of Green Day (I was more into grunge, hard-rock, or heavy metal). And I prefer other punk acts like the Sex Pistols or the Ramones, but this is still pretty good. This is a solid 3,5 star album for me. Some songs I enjoy: "Chump" (I like the bass riff and instrumental second half of the song), "Longview" (probably my favourite), "Welcome to Paradise", "Basket Case", "When I Come Around", or "F.O.D.".

The rhythm section! I can’t believe this drumming.

Classic. Makes me think of early high school.

Essential 90s Green Day with recognizable hits and that punk sound. Helped bring 90s American mainstream music into a different formula of rock.

scratching parts of my brain that have been dormant since high school, I really like it

Really really good. Burnout-basket case is such a great sequence it almost pains me to rate this not a 5 but the second half really falls off for me. I am positive I would feel differently if this was a nostalgic album for me though.

Great classic punk album by Green Day. Filled with raw energy. Some of Green Day’s best songs are on this album and the highlight of the album for me is She and Longview

What a teenage anthem I love it from front to back, also being bisexual "Coming Clean" is one of the most relatable songs ( as im also 17) Sounds great, each songs is diffrent enough to shine on its own, i think its a great album that deserves more recognition than American Idiot Maybe Billie's vocals arent as strong but musically i like it better Text wise its also great, its just the essence of being a teenager

Best: Basket case Insgesamt sehr gut

Really good album but can get repetitive

Good album, really strong songs. Enjoyed this one

Objectivement c'est genre 3.5 les sons sont quand même très génériques, mais l'affect rentre en compte donc j'hésite

tipico green day, rock/punk, el disco de basket case, la de dooo you have the tiiime, to listen to me whiiine,

What I feel about this album (before listening): I have heard a lot about this album and I think it's going to be a good album. I heard a lot of Green Day, but mostly from American Idiot album. But now I want to see how is the album that launched them to a REAL rockstar _____________________ After: Thats cool!

Fantastic pop punk!

✸ Longview is still a banger. ✸ More pencil-crayon album covers, please. ✸ Basket Case awakening my sense memory: I'm a pre-teen being driven around in the family car while listening to 102.1 The Edge. ✸ I'm realizing how fried my attention span is when I find myself wanting to skip a 2 min long song, instead of sitting through it. ✸ When I Come Around!! ✸ I was 4 years old when this album was released.

A nice come down from the gauntlet yesterday. The epitome of pop punk, although my personal favorite pop punk record is Enema of the State. A handful of modern classics and goofy, immature 2-3 minute bangers that just sound good. So much better than political Green Day.

yes

Bancoo, pensé que solo me iba a gustar "Basket Case", pero me gustó el estilo del disco, muy movido y con mucha guitarra, pero las letras se entienden. Lo volvería a escuchar, aunque me interesa más escuchar otras cosas de la banda.

Hit or miss.

This was in my regular rotation as a teen in the mid-90s. I don’t listen to it much anymore as my tastes have changed quite a bit since then, but I can still sing along to most of the album. Some of the songs start sounding very similar, which is the only thing keeping this from being a 5 for me.

who hasn't heard of green day at this point? my dad has owned this cd physically for years. the third and one of the first big releases from the band, recorded in only a few weeks. it's currently the best selling album from green day. fast, fierce punk rock, written by a very young billie joe armstrong. fun fact, the original title for the album was "liquid dookie". this is punk rock, or rather pop punk rock. like a few past albums i've listened to, probably the best thing about this album is its consistency. green day has some of the catchiest rock songs ever written, truly some big anthems that anyone, young and old would want to get together and sing along with. consistency is a great thing, but as the cd plays on, i WILL admit that the songs do start to blend in with one another. this album is great! but i feel like it could have less tracks. some of the final tracks are only like one minute thirty or around two minutes long. this album is very nostalgic for a lot of people and i agree with those sentiments. if more specific ratings were a thing on here, i'd wanna give this a 4.2.

I really like the intro, just throws you right in with no buildup. Really solid album I love the vibes. It gives me Tony Hawk pro skater vibes for some reason, specifically from the PS2, but I love it.

Hella fun. Basket Case - She - Sassafras Roots makes such a good three song run. Billie Joe Armstrong has the most iconic voice.

I liked it! Basket Case is my fave, didn't know Armstrong was bi. I also love the album cover. Album reminds me of the beauty of being young

Listening to American Idiot again made me realize that I somehow after all this time have not gotten to hear Dookie, so seeing this was a pleasant surprise. The album was really good, a more standard approach to Green Day, but that does not make it any less good. It's like the "Who's Next" to American Idiot's "Tommy" or "Quadrophenia". A thrilling pop-punk record filled with bangers. Fav Songs Welcome to Paradise Basket Case Longview Is it Top 1001 Worthy (is it essential)? Yes, not only is it some of Green Days best work, but it is some of the best in the Pop-punk genre. A worthy listen.

Classic album and a personal fav! own it on cd! It honestly reminds me of my ex and of good times.

This was a nice surprise, I've never was a huge fan of Green Day, and their overplayed hits got old two decades ago. But listening to those same hits in context of the album they were on makes them shine more. Billy Joe's guitar tone is killer, but Dirnt's basslines are what carries these guys.

Bio bi najdosadniji album s gomilom identičnih pjesama da nije mojih voljenih Longview i When I Come Around. Zbog njih ipak bolji utisak.

Liked this on release. Still like it now.

!!! Basket Case alone could warrant five stars but I’ll control myself.

holds up almost as well as when it was initially released. There is something timeless about Billy Joes voice

Dookie was a great listen. Enjoyed the drumming. Definitely a punk rock classic.

It might not be one of the best albums, but definetly the one that influenced me the most, when I was young. After hearing this record, I got into Punkrock and discovered all time faves like Bad Religion, NOFX, Black Flag,… So, thanks! Fav: Chump

4/5 https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/green-day/dookie/ Due to being 2 years old when this was released, my introduction to Green Day was with American Idiot (which I also expect will pass by in the list?). I've listened to Dookie ever since, but not very often, aside from the main hits (that slap!). I should've; this is nice! Doesn't reach American Idiot levels for me (yet), but that's mainly due to nostalgia.

Excellent album, love the fiery lyrics, an Easy 4 Star album

Didn’t like them when they broke out but grew to like them. There is a bit of filler here but the highs are very high. Not as consistent as Offspring’s Smash or Rancid’s …And Out Come the Wolves

Variety isn't bad for punk. Pretty decent for what it is

J'ai bien aimé, j'ai même ajouté un titre, mais c'est pas un coup de foudre

I don’t think I’ve ever listened to this whole album, I had some thoughts on better sequencing but beyond that super enjoyable. Very strong major label debut

Its not the most perfect punk album but damn does it come close. i would have gave it a 5/5 but im not 15 anymore. which does not mean i hate this album or punk, quite the opposite but i have since grown to appreciate what this album did at the time and really shows how strong green day was before they kinda fell off for me. ill never not love welcome to paradise.......

Memories

DO YOU HAVE THE TIME that’s the only song i recognised and my main takeaway from listen to this album was holy shit that is one strong american accent. that being said I did enjoy it, reminds be of early Panic! albums, which were probably inspired by this i imagine

Knew and liked a few of the songs, discovered a few more that I like!

Klassieker

Hoewel mijn Green Day fase al een jaar of 15 achter de rug is, zit ik gewoon weer opgelaten te luchtdrummen als Tre erin knalt op Basket Case. Ja, het is allemaal wat simpel en veilig, maar de opbeurende skatepunk van Dookie is vooral gewoon tof. Sterke vocal harmonies, aanstekelijke reffreintjes. Snel en leuk.

Nice album, more familiar with American idiot

Another low 4 due to preponderance of very good songs amidst pop-punk filler

Pretty good for what it is.

Listened to it a couple of times to confirm it wasn't a 5

Green day puro, temazos como "She" y "Basket case", me encanta.

Make a donation to donate@924gilman.org for Alternative Music Foundation if you like this as much as I do, you bloody bollocks!

322/1089 this type of skater punk pop rock is pretty fun to listen to, some bits sound quite folky which i like. i also like that the tracks are pretty fast paced, there’s a good amount of tracks that are around 2mins spread throughout so the album doesn’t drag too much faves: Longview, Emenius Sleepus, Basket Case, Welcome to Paradise 75/100

Listening session: june 3rd, while mealprepping Listened to before: listened to this album a few times before Thoughts: this album makes me feel like I’m in a 90s teen movie in a good way Favourite tracks: Longview, Welcome to Paradise & Basket Case

In the beginning I thought well that not really 100% what I like. The lyrics and their topics got me. Some of those songs will make it to my list of favourites.

Listens: 2.5 Standout Tracks: Longview, Welcome To Paradise, When I Come Around For me, this is one of those albums where the singles are excellent, and really do a lot of the heavy lifting on the album, but the rest of the album sort of fades into the background. I want to like the album more than I actually do. Despite what the description says, I never considered this to be "punk" music growing up; its just got way too much mainstream appeal and its way to melodic and pop-y. That was obviously the goal, though (financially). This album, and perhaps Green Day functions as a nexus point between a bunch of genres: Punk, Grunge, classic rock, and what came after it: 2000s Pop, Emo, "Goth", Ska, Post-grunge, Nu-metal, and post-hardcore. I grew up in the 90s and 2000s and this deluge of musical genres was nigh unavoidable, even if you weren't really into any of it. I dabbled in Ska and Nu-metal, but mostly stayed comfortably under the "alternative rock" umbrella. It wasn't until later that I got into some of the aforementioned genres, but even still, I really don't "do" Emo and Goth music. It all feels quite whiny and thin. But I digress; I think this is a perfectly fine album. I don't think it's something that will enter my rotation, but I recognize its cultural importance. I also always thought that Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) was on this album, but it is, in fact, not.

Classic 90's pop punk. 14 tracks rattle by. All with single potential.

A seminal pop punk album, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't already over them by 18 or 19. Even so, this has got hits that still hit and the other stuff also rocks. Not too sure about that last track where it sounds like Billie Joe is trying to sound developmentally disabled.

Let me be me bro

Awesome album by the Green Day - couple classics right there.

Solid! Throwback to my childhood. Grateful that it's on this list,, and I listened to it again after many years.

No nonsense brilliant us slacker punk pop.

The argument around Green Day's punk credentials obscured the fact that Dookie is one of the great guitar pop albums of the 90s. Every song is a winner, from the snare hits opening "Burnout" through to the gear shifting "F.O.D". Sure it's very much a teenager's album in a lot of ways, and as a teenager at the time, this was massive, not only as a gateway to punk, but also as one of the most replayable pop albums I'd heard. In context too it was an important release to all of the darkness that grunge brought - it was released less than a couple of months before Kurt died, so by the time it hit my radar it was sorely needed. It's not an album that I find myself reaching for as an older and maybe more jaded middle aged guy, but it's still undeniable as a classic 90s album.

Perfect

no notes!!! Rager!!! 8/10

Takes me back, great listen.

Although you can hear a more radio-ready mix and mastering in terms of the actual sound, not a lot changed in Green Day's songwriting from Kerplunk to Dookie all things considered. My point is you'd be hard-pressed to spot the differences with this jump to the majors except for the elephant in the room which is the giant corporate machine now behind them. I get the whole narrative about scene betrayal and have been down the road with bands I supported before they grabbed the brass ring, etc. Certainly not discounting all of that but I do think it's remarkable how consistent these two records are when you get down to it. True heads may question anything post John Kiffmeyer out / Tré Cool in, you can always say that "they sold out earlier", but this begins to feel like a flavor of the No True Scotsman fallacy. Anyway, what are we doing here with this review? You probably already have feelings about Dookie and you might even know what it sounds like. It was one of the biggest albums of the 90s and helped (re)launch the commercial viability of the pop-punk genre — and everyone poops after all.

Dookie can be hard album to evaluate. It's sort of a monumental landmark album, but not quite in musical sense as much as cultural one. There's nothing particularly unique or special about green day and yet this album has a specific sound that never quite gets duplicated when people try. Perhaps it's the partcular influences these guys bring in, their lineage coming out of bay area punk comes through loud and clear, but they are clearly poppier and more radio friendly than a lot of those bands. Maybe it's just that these three guys have a really natural interplay on a musical level. Whatever the reason, this album blew Green Day up beyond belief. They became a cultural force that could never really go away, for better or worse. They headlined Coachella in 2024, they played before the super bowl on national television this year. There's a marvel that this album is what launched all that into even being a remote possibility. Before this they were a bunch of young punks from SF that Reprise took on shot on trying to find the next big rock band now that grunge seemed to have run its course. There's a lot to be said about Green Day and what they became. Their journey from being countercultural weirdos to being one of the handful of the biggest acts on the planet. These days they aren't really countercultural anymore, the more the default band for the guy "doesn't like what's on the radio." They make constant political statements, but they aren't actually radical. They play alternative music, but they fill stadiums. 32 years after the dookie dropped, they have been fully subsumed by culture. It's fascinating to keep that in mind when you listen to this record. Is that story a triumph or a tragedy? ultimately is depends on your individual views, but I think that certainly makes this an essential listen, if only to see where the tide shifted.

I’ve always seen this album around but never listened to it all the way through until now. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Everything the youth of the 90’s loved about Alternative Music is embedded in this album: the angst without feeling corny or forced, catchy lyrics, some humor, and a great showcase of chaotic (in the best way) drums

This has some great ones. Lots of nostalgia.

Ok, I think I actually have come around now that Dookie has been generated; I enjoyed this so much more than American Idiot. It’s still pop punk, they have a ton of pop sensibilities, but there’s still some edge here and a lot of creative approaches to these songs. In particular, I really enjoyed the bass playing throughout; a lot of simple, but hooky bass lines.

Green Day was inescapable in late high school, and yet I was never much of a fan nor had I listened to a whole album before this list. This is pretty great although not as great as American Idiot.

The thing is, this IS a great album. Had Green Day never gone mainstream, this still would have been right up there with all the best pop-punk albums from that time. Is it the defining pop punk album of the mid-90s? Probably not. Does it deserve a spot on the 1001 list? Probably not. Anyway, it's a great listen, and I'm glad they're still going strong after all these years.

I had only listened to American Idiot prior (in full) - a more ambitious project than Dookie for sure. I really like the bridge in Welcome to Paradise.

Reminded me fondly of my youth. Being 14, loving skateboarding and getting mix tape CD's from my mate introducing me to all sorts of new bands.

THE quintessential pop punk album. Not my favorite by Green Day, but it is in my opinion the most approachable and cohesive album from their raw era. Fav track: Pulling Teeth

novamente, concordo com o amigo do site é um pop punk muito bem executado, mas falta alguma coisa? ainda assim, legal

bom, basket case é um clássico (pra quem curte). eu nunca fui mto do green day não, mas não é ruim, só falta alguma coisa. definitivamente mais POP do que PUNK, mas tá valendo, as guitarrinhas são massa. fato aleatório: em meados de 2011 eu tinha depressão e um TUMBLR (pois é) e era amigo duma menina curitibana que curtia MUITO green day. nunca me desceu mto, mas ela era gente boa e me ajudou bastante. espero que ainda esteja viva.

Shermz: yessss finally an album ive actually heard before. Remind me to sing during the next K bby :) Wenz: hahah, I have not heard about this album before… but quite good. I will remind you to sing during Karaoke 😆

I love this album but I grew up with it so I'm biased

7/10

Still holds up after 30 years, albeit a little less impressive than it was hearing it as an angsty pre-teen. The key is the production, which somehow captures all three distinctly while blasting you in the face, something others tried to replicate but never really could. Still, it's all a bit of the same, and so it thrives on nostalgia more than true greatness.

Excellent pop punk from a band that made a lot of not-excellent stuff after. Green Day isn't in my top few bands of the genre, but with their popularity, Dookie is easy to point to as one of the best examples of the genre. When I Come Around, Basket Case, Longview, Welcome to Paradise, you never go too long in this album without a reminder of how these three were just tapping into something.

I can't explain why I don't like most punk music but I love Green Day. Their debut album Dookie is so good. I love the way the songs flow into one another and tell the story of a drugged up deadbeat. Big fan, classic Green Day.

Classic for a reason, love Green Day, but would choose another of their albums over this one, hence 4 stars.

Great album with a few classics.

THE quintessential pop punk album. Not my favorite by Green Day, but it is in my opinion the most approachable and cohesive album from their raw era. Fav track: Pulling Teeth

Fantastic album again. Iconic, influential, and just great songs. Some stuff I'd forgotten about on here.

Идеальная музыка, когда тебе 16. Не слушала Green Day с 2012 года. Почувствовала от этого всю тяжесть бытия на своих плечах. Kerplunk и Nimrod мне всегда нравились больше, но ниже 4 рука не поднимется поставить. Всему было свое время.

FINALLY a punk album that I don't hate!

Es muy divertido, fue un álbum muy disfrutable. Es curioso porque no pensé que me fuera a gustar pero me sorprendió. No lo llamaría punk, quizás es un punk más accesible (digo porque yo no soy alguien que disfrute particularmente del género), por eso entiendo el hate que pueden llegar a tener. Me recordó que soy joven, tonto y puedo llegar a ser cool.

Quite a fun record. Infectious melodies and hard driving tunes keep it moving at a good pace. There’s a youthful naïveté comes through that’s easy to like. 4

fun and catchy. much prefer this to american idiot

Solid album. I was always a fan of the singles but never gave the full album its due mostly because of Billy Joe's future personality. I see why they are well regarded as they are.

I always resented Green Day. Coming up at this time I was down with pop punk with Offspring, Lagwagon, NoFX, etc but this band seemed like it was blessed by the gods of radio/MTV undeservedly. Tres Cool is a legend regardless.

This album is one that opened the door to music for me. It's probably a big part of why I learned an instrument and joined bands. Teenage me poured over every aspect of it. It's basically a musical comfort blanket and today has been a massive nostalgia trip. Good times.

Geiler Punk Rock! Nicht das beste Album aber schon sehr gut.

It's not my favorite Green Day album, however, it's still a Green Day album, soooooooo ... 4 stars

Me alegro el día

pop rock, not that interesting but some godd standalone tracks

Tails off at the end, but a classic album all in all

Haven't listened to this in ages. Really like early Greenday. Longview is catchy.

Listened to some Green Day years ago. But never explored them much beyond their hits. It’s a very 90s punk sound that feels more classic now. I guess that makes sense since it’s 30 years old. The non single songs kind of have a generic quality to them, but the hit songs are really fun and good. Kind of a weird album. It’s like yeah Green Day is fine and all, but doesn’t seem like anything special. Longview is better than anything else on the front of the album. Is it just familiarity? I enjoy the slowed down style on Pulling Teeth. I might have spoke too soon. After a few forgettable tracks to it’s full of good songs from Longview on until at least When I Come Around. Actually ended up enjoying way more than I thought. It’s definitely really good at its best and just okay sometimes. But feels like a 4. It surprisingly holds up well.

Sorpresivamente espectacular. No me llamaba mucho la atención grindei pero he gozado

Sounds like how a teenager's bedroom smells. Pop punk 101

i actually listened to this one unconsciously its one of my sisters favorite albums and i was basically forced to listen to it sp yeah its ok not rlly my type but some songs still hold a place in my hearr

oh i’ve heard this hundreds of times as a teenager. love the bit between chump and longview, endlessly cool. i LOVE longview. as a bass player, it’s so cool. i remember these songs being longer. not in a bad way, just didn’t realize they were so short.

There was certainly a sound in the early 90s

gut halt, kennt man, hört sich nur wieder alles ähnlich an

Like if my favorite pony did its best trick for me :) can’t believe i never listened to this album! Bangerthon! Important

👍

Amazing debut album that kicked off an entire resurgence of punk. Chocked full of hooks and great riffs

I had my Green Day phase and it's good to revisit that. It's nostalgic with good catchy songs. Good pick, will be back to the album when I wish to go back to that younger self that listened to this.

Gg

escutei faz muito tempo mas lembro que achei meio trilha sonora do Scooby doo

It's energetic and cool with great bangers. A pretty solid record. Favorite Songs: Longview ; Basket Case

Maybe it's the 90s teen nostalgia (a friend at school copied this album on cassette for me) but I think I might like Dookie more now than I did at the time. It's a tad same-y, but there's less filler than I remembered.

if 13 year old me was rating this it would be an instant 5 but unfortunately i have aged since then

A couple of good songs, but not their best. 3.5

I did not know Green Day was such a fun band 30 years ago and I did not know Basket Case is their song. Perfect for Friday!

Solid listen. This isn't really my genre but it does feel like an album I needed to listen to. 4/5

Never really been into pop punk but this was good

Its a classic!

punk. catchy. fun. 90s.

ugh... I want to rate this a 5 soooo bad it's like a 4.75 though so it gets a 4. One of the first "punk" groups I listened to as a young man.

Hard to understate how prominent this album was in the mid-90s

It has Basket Case soooo uhhhhhhh...

So Green day is my guiltiest of pleasures I'm not gonna lie, so ofc I enjoyed this. The suprising thing here is that Billie Joe Armstrong really hasn't changed his singing style all that much in 30 years, and I think considering how much I enjoyed this versus anything of their recent work is proof that pop-punk lives and dies on its attitude. It's the kind of rage-at-nothing-and-everything nihilistic screed that comes around from the brainrot of the trashiest side of suburbia that might absolutely turn me off elsewhere, but here I think it works. Longview is a great example of that maddening boredom in action (or rather inaction). I'm suprised Green Day hasn't become a calling card for chuds and incels (besides their very most popular songs), and I think that's half in part due to their open political stances but also a kind of self awareness that the lifestyle they're portraying deeply sucks. That self awareness is the key to all this balancing out for me. It's very much the 90s musical version of Catcher in the Rye (even down to the reference of paying a sex worker just so you can talk to them about your feelings), and like the Catcher in the Rye its going to be divisive for that. But I like Catcher in the Rye, and I also like this album. It's a high 4, I think as a full album experience it does run out of things to say towards the last half.

Excellent Punk album

Never been a huge Green Day fan but I did enjoy this

Not necessarily my favourite style of music, but I do appreciate its influence (so many of these songs are staples for young kids when they are first starting in bands) and some of the songs have achieved classic status.

i like it. i assume that some people think it gets repetitive, but i really like the sound even if it is.

Green Day has always been a frustrating band for me. I really like their punk and a lot of their pop-punk, but they occasionally put out some pop rock which I find very annoying. Fortunately, this album has more of the first two elements and only moderate elements of the third.

Billy Joe freakin' Armstrong. So much energy. Hard to comment on this musically, because it feels like a lotta powerchords and its not subtle at all. If i knew more about the history of this kinda music, it could be a 5 (cultural impact points). It's a solid, solid 4.

johnny test music

Classic album from my college days. Oddly one of these songs was stuck in my head when I woke up today and then I got this album in my queue

Pas mon style habituel mais j’ai plutôt bien aimé!

My rating 3.8. Great album. Just one catchy pop punk song after another.

wel awesome, veel tzelfde wel

gran album

Songs like “Basket Case” and “When I Come Around” proved that Green Day could be a sensation. But “Longview,” “Welcome to Paradise,” and “She” showed flashes of brilliance and the potential beyond their slacker punk exterior. This is musical and lyrical too: “She, she’s figured out / All her doubts were someone else’s point of view.” For many bands “pop punk” would be an insult. But for Green Day, their pop sensibilities actually meant they had the tools and talent to expand their sound in many directions. Each of their albums has deep cuts and great moments, and they keep adding new layers all the way up till “American Idiot.” That 2004 album was a sensation too, but “Idiot” proved that all their potential could be channeled into a true masterpiece of biography, cultural critique, and astounding musicianship. Strong 4/5 for Dookie, with a strong encouragement to go listen to “Homecoming” — where it all comes together at the end of “American Idiot.”

You might remember many of these singles from back in 1994, but entire album is solid. I have to admit that I didn't envision them becoming the band that would eventually deliver American Idiot - despite small signs even then. Great early effort by Green Day! Enjoy. I did.

I was not sure how I would like a whole album of 90s Green Day, but was very happy that the high energy didn't get tiring at all. The songs where different enough from each other and the sound was generally pleasant.

I did like Green Day quite a bit when I was younger, but I was mainly listening to the 21st century albums. I have never listened to this one in full before. It’s fun. Probably not what I would’ve liked when I was 12, but I definitely like it now

Legendary pop punk record that brought Green Dsy to the masses, the songs flow nicely and the production and mix sound excellent. It's a record aimed to teens, but can be listened by everyone, with political tones and relatable situations. A 10/10 record anytime.

A great example of the genre - the hits are big, the deep cuts usually have some interesting stuff going on and the lyrics are relatable but brilliant. There are some inconsistentices - I'm fairly usually there's some weird production changes between songs, particularly around volume - but it can take it.

This came out a little too late for me, it's a real Millennial classic that I was aware of but more or less ignored in an era when I was just listening to what I knew. Years removed, I have a deep appreciation for the sheer volume of great songs here. GD gets a bad rap from olds like me because of the Pop Punk label. Forget the stupid corporate labels and enjoy the big (not so) dumb music. Also, these guys are underrated as a live act, a relentlessly tight rock and roll machine

I’m not a big Green Day fan by any means but every song on Dookie is pretty good. Maybe worth checking out more

Me gusto, algunas canciones me hacen acordar a un amigo. También a cuando escuchaba esta banda de adolescente jijis

I saw this album performed live last year and it RULED; today I appreciated how the record makes it sound small but bursting at the seams. It's so energetic and fun.

Banger overall. Some tracks aren’t as polished as I’d like.

Nostalgic! Love this album and need to listen to it more often

Yeah!

It’d be impossible to say this was anything other than a good album. Though it teetered off a bit in the second half, the strong first half led by "Basket Case" and "When I Come Around" make up for it.

I’ve never been a fan of Green Day, but I will say I was impressed with the production quality, and listening to the whole album in order gave the songs a distinct context… lyrics-wise, there seems to be a lot of overlap and several songs seem to be about the same thing.

Mentally when I listen to this, I’m controlling Tony Hawk as he skateboards around Alcatraz or the Zoo. Somewhere in the depths of the internet is a video of me playing the drums to “When I Come Around” back in my glory days. Top songs: Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, When I Come Around

Do you have the time to listen to me whine?

Some classics, maybe a bit repetitive overall?

Enorme Banger mais un poil juste pour le 5 étoiles

Want to give this a 4.5 but it's not a choice. Great album, great hits. Couple of unmemorable songes, but the memorable ones put Green Day on the map.

quelli che dicono che il pop punk non è vero punk forse hanno ragione, ma a me piace lo stesso moltissimo

This album is really good. I had already listened to it before, but anytime I can get a chance to listen to this album is amazing. So many good songs on this record, like Pulling Teeth, Chump, Longview, Having a Blast, Basket Case, She, When I Come Around, Welcome to Paradise, and just so many more. This is the album that showed that Green Day was going to be a mainstay, and it still holds up.

3,8/5

The transition from Chump into Longview is the point at which I came around and realised that Green Day's song craft on this record is actually really solid. This isn't my style of music and it definitely passed me by in my adolescence, but I can definitely appreciate what a tight and often inventive band they are on this album. Mike Dirnt's bass lines are often the magic ingredient.

Highlights: Burnout, Having a Blast, Longview, Pulling Teeth, Basket Case, She, When I Come Around, F.O.D. Dookie is somewhat of an essential record for white people at this point to a degree that I'm a bit sick when I hear it. It just captures the 90s zeitgeist too well for me not to cringe a bit while listening to it. It sounds like what a modern parody of the period would. Don't get me wrong doe, it's a love/hate relationship, not just pure hate. My biggest issue is of course with Basket Case and When I Come Around - suburban normie "punk" anthems. They do sound good doe. I don't have such an issue with Longview for instance since it doesn't get so much airplay. As I was writing this little rant Chump was playing - a correct diagnosis of my state of mind (just a hater). The record is highly revisitable and the highlights are dope. It's amazing how they hit a perfect length where no track overstays its welcome. Yeah, the style is a bit monotonous, but again, no theme sticks for too long so I guess it's ok - very punk in that regard even though I hate calling this punk.

I have listened to the singles off this album many times. My little sister bought this when it came out and I came around to it (forgive me) after repeatedly hearing it in 1994. This holds up well. The singles all 5 of them do much of the heavy lifting but the other songs are good too. I like Green Day and think that their body of work stands up favorably to their peers from the 90s.

good listen enjoyed it a lot. I loved the mania.

"Dookie" is an enjoyably well-crafted album. It contains a handful of essential five star tracks that form the corner stone of Green Day's catalogue and live setlist to this day. I realise that many consider "Dookie" to be Green Day's magnum opus but it doesn't quite hit those heights for me, as on the whole I find that Green Day's material to come over better in a live setting than on a studio album - they are quite stunning live. Four stars. 1 "Burnout" (4/5) 2 "Having a Blast" (4/5) 3 "Chump" (4/5) 4 "Longview" (5/5) 5 "Welcome to Paradise" (5/5) 6 "Pulling Teeth" (5/5) 7 "Basket Case" (5/5) 8 "She" (4/5) 9 "Sassafras Roots" (4/5) 10 "When I Come Around" (5/5) 11 "Coming Clean" (4/5) 12 "Emenius Sleepus" (4/5) 13 "In the End" (4/5) 14 "F.O.D." (4/5) Total - 61 Average - 4.36 277/1001 148/277 albums reviewed were new to me

C'était sympa j'ai beaucoup aimé cet album même si je n'ai pas trouvé de chanson particulièrement marquante, mais j'ai aimé tout l'album !

Me gustó bastante, algo diferente a lo habitual para mí pero me da esa sensación de nostalgia porque probablemente mis papás (sobre todo mi papá) lo deben de haber escuchado de adolescentes

As much as every song is entertaining in it's melody, and I respect the album for that, nothing in the production makes it stick out enough on a first listen

What's interesting about this album is that it captures an enduring youthful nonchalance.  It captures that not really caring vibe without trying to stab at anything in particular and I like that.  It was a powerhouse of the time and a band that suits that pop / rock energy that can easily exist on the arena stage.  A fun, silly energy that is a spectacle.  Probably why it endures and is worthy as it's a bit cultural and a rite of passage to pretty much anyone and will inject into most people's lives at some point on their musical journey.  Albums that can do that deserve some praise is my thinking as easy to get snobby about music sometimes.  You could argue it has a commercial edge and not all of it is amazing but has well written lyrics and distils the "arena" energy into a tight package. 

-I mean obviously I love this album it feels like home to me -I didn’t realize so many of these songs were on Dookie first and then American Idiot later? Or just on Dookie? I thought American Idiot was full of all the hits lolll Favs (outside of the ones I know really well lol): Chump, Longview

Good

Light 4

I mean, yeah? Yes

Such a great album. I am the exact same age as the members of Green Day, and so this album hit me in a particular way when it came out. There is some filler on the album, so it doesnt make 5 stars, but a great listen. And nothing funnier than punk gatekeeping. Green Day are a punk band. They play pop punk. Like the Buzzcocks. Johnny Lydon said Green Day are crap and don't deserve to be called a punk band. This coming from a guy who was in the punk version of The Monkees (which, honestly, is an insult to the Monkees). Enough with the gatekeeping.

Buen álbum, para los adolescentes de la época de fijo un boom Tiene buenos hits como basket case, y encontré otras joyitas que ni idea Muy buenos solos en algunas de las rolas también Sería un 3.8 para mi

qué buenos recuerdos, el primer disco que me compré <3 i love you

liked the opening track Really like the groove and feel of each track, the drums and guitar are great feels very quick and to the point very much young adult angst, loved welcome to paradise, when i come around great punk rock, loved the energy of this thing Loved the opening track and really loved Basket Case and Welcome to paradise. Very punk rock, feels quite raw compared to later stuff

Duh! My Nevermind.

Love this!

Never got into green day much, but this was quite good. 4/5

Music does not have to be complex to rip. This really gets going in the second half with a good-natured, classic, young kind of punk that brings the fun of being a teenager back. This is for the the platonic ideal of this sound fro the 90s and contains some absolute bangers (when I come around). Is consistent, fun, I like ho buried the vocals are behind a nasty guitar

Сразу скажу, я считаю этот альбом точно слабее American idiot. Здесь очень разнообразные по концепту песни, исполнение в целом свойственное группе, но как же однотипно чувствуется этот альбом из-за звучания. Не знаю, абсолютно каждый трек похож друг на друга, и если бы мне нравился стиль Грин дей полностью-цены не было бы альбому. Но это не так, разбавить некоторыми треками плейлист-классно, а так я остался больше разочарован. При этом мне не хватит совести поставить этот альбом с теми, которым я ставил 3 балла. Я с малым желанием, но поставлю 4, я правда не понял культовости именно этого альбома, увы(

This is a good album. I loved it when it came out. I haven’t heard this in years and putting this on really took me back to those days of carefree youth. This album still sounds good and the songs are written, arranged, and performed very well. Maybe the album is 2 or 3 songs too long and the juvenile lyrics may not resonate as much in my later years but it’s still fun as hell to listen to! It is odd though that there are no albums on this list by Bad Religion, NOFX, and Pennywise because those bands did put out some albums that are better than this one for this genre. It seems that the way the choices in this list often works is to highlight albums that have sold a lot, which is a poor metric to go by when it comes to judging great art, but Dookie ain’t half bad so I’ll take it!

Great album!! A lot of really good songs

RAD

I wanna say three bangers, solid listen over here

Never gets old.

I think these kids are going places!

Wow, Longview is still so good. Didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did!

Classic. 4.5.

I don't think I've listened to this in the past 25 years. It's aged, but aged well. Dynamic and melodic. Silly. White Stripes simplicity. Bass lines that hook. I miss Nick.

I liek a lot

Not their grand opus but really good nonetheless.

Any day I get to listen to Green Day is a good day. This album embodies alt punk rock and set my Apple Music to deliver bangers all day long, this album is solid.

Good album..Heard many times before.

How to create a pretty much perfect pop punk album. Tight and catchy, some iconic tunes! Favourite tracks: Welcome To Paradise, Longview, She, Sassafras Roots

4.5 I loved all the songs except She but other than that good stuff

Like this record more than i would have thought. This lp is exactly what i wanted for this soft punk genre. And i can see that this must have been so influential for all the blink182s and sum41s that came after. Basket case is pretty iconic.

My sister had this CD, so I suppose I could have listened to Dookie before today. I’m not a pop punk gal and didn’t like the singles at the time. A full album listen was OK. No further comment.

4.5

I really loved this album. It almost seemed like it was created in a lab to appeal to a 19-year-old like me. Fortunately or unfortunately, I grew up and my love of Green Day had basically worn off by the time of American Idiot, but I still have a soft spot for this one and Kerplunk.

3.5

This is a really strong pop-punk album. Apart from the final ‘hidden track’ I don’t think there are any real duds, and some songs are very good indeed. The performances and production are also great; the band has a really punchy sound. I have two reservations, though: it does get a little samey by the end, and I also have a personal dislike of ‘pop-punk voice’, although Billie Joe Armstrong is by no means the worst offender for that. I find this style/genre a bit of an acquired taste, but can absolutely see myself growing to really love this album.

Feels like what happened when punk grew up. In a good way. Great songs. Bags of energy brilliantly captured by the recording. 4*

Never was the largest Green Day fan, but listening to this iconic album all the way through was a treat. The hits hit, and the rest of it really shows the origin of something special and nostalgic.

I am quite familiar with Green Day, so i had high hopes for this album, and I am pleased to find, it is indeed a good album. The album has many of their most iconic hits. Green Day’s sound is so fun and typically upbeat, whilst being laced with teenage angst, and I find it quite charming and nostalgic. Not a lot to say about it, just a good time.

Good

Love Green Day 👍

Almost got this album art tattooed when I was younger. Some ssooongs kinda blend tg. But the hits are HITTING. Young me loved it. FO!

Rv/g

It is a great Alt Rock album with the vibe of a punk rock group

Fun album

I bought this album back in the day and listened to it loads. It's a good album. 4/5

It blows my mind that this was released over 30 years ago. Jesus, where does the time go? This was a great album when it came out and it’s still a great album today. Fantastic driving guitar and drums and Billie Joe Armstrong’s voice is the icing on the cake. It gets you hyped even if the definition of getting hyped looks different at mid 50’s than mid-20’s. This was the perfect pick me up on a Monday morning workday after the Super Bowl.

You're not going to find a better example of pop punk. Green Day dials in their punk roots as a foundation to each song, then layers on some catchy melodies to soften the edge giving us a very familiar yet somehow new sound that even your mom can jam to. I've always been a fan of Green Day, They mastered the art of making the punk sound safe for the masses while still preserving a bit of their true punk soul. Some will say they sold out and maybe they're right, but I ask, what's more punk than giving punk community throwing all their hate at you the middle finger by telling them Good Riddance by way of an acoustic ballet. F ya Green Day

Green day are just fun.

With the nostalgia I would be putting this down as a 4.5, realistically it’s probably more in the 3.5 range. There are some forgettable songs, but the majority of them are bangers and have stood the test of time

Klassikkolevy jonka voi laittaa soimaan oikeastaan millon vaan ja tulee hyvä fiilis

Hassuva, että toinen ysärin kova punkkilevy eli ovsprinkin mässi ilmesty muutaman kuukauden sisällä tästä. Tässon kyl monta hyvää hetkee ja pääosin pelkkää työnnättämistä, mutta ihan ei kanna koko levyn matkaa. Vaikee arvioitsia onko "aikuisempi" ameriikan idijootti jopa sitten parempi kokonaisuus. Sua nährä kuullaanko sitäkin tällä listalla. No kuiteskin, monta hittiä ja mieleistä saundia. Ei kuitenkaan ihan vitkua pysty hernauttaan.

i have a longstanding, seemingly unbreakable Total Apathy towards green day, and i was hoping that listening to this would help me clarify that but it truly did not lol. my best guess is just that billie joe's snotty, weirdly rigid singing ties their whole aesthetic inexorably to a kind of arms-length gen x slacker vibe i find no personal resonance in. im realizing i dont mind the timbre of his voice, but his style sure does make everything blend together unproductively in my head and keeps me at a pretty hard emotional distance (this reaches its culmination in stuff like time of your life, where the contradictory chemistry between the music and his presence gives me a fucking panic attack). ig thats the theory i have to run with rn, but itll probably change in the future because i dont listen to enough green day to regularly reconsider it. all that being said im hard pressed to actually find anything specifically bad in the music, certainly on this record. i hear the three big singles from here all the time at work and i always remembered them being kind of samey but theyre all actually very impressively different. and honestly there aint a bad song on the record...the band is full tilt power trio (dirnt's bass especially), and they throw so much genuine Muscle on the already very catchy and sticky songs. ive always liked green day as like a Band Aesthetic...three guys who feel like theyve always been friends and always will be, the creative equivalent of found family blood harmonies. its clearly very easy for the whole configuration of their style to produce stuff i have a very adverse reaction to, and even then i dont wanna discourage artistic experimentation or whatever. but if they have a Home Base where everything works relaibly, this record certainly seems to represent it well. basket case is a moral ocd classic.

I must admit that I massively underestimated this album when it was released. Suddenly, everyone at school liked punk rock, and that was solely because they had heard “Basket Case”. I remember thinking that the song was only so-so at the time. But what really irritated me was that everyone had completely changed their taste in music overnight. Looking back, these sudden breaks—of which there were several in the 90s—were necessary for the further development of contemporary music. On the other hand, the constant style changes naturally led to very few mature albums being released during that decade. In my opinion, “Dookie” is also extremely important in music history—alongside the punk rock revival, the whole emo wave was ultimately based on it—but it is not a consistently outstanding work. Long preamble, here are a few notes on the songs: The aforementioned “Basket Case” is based on Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D and was a must for all musicians in the late 90s. I also remember the second real hit, “When I Come Around”, very well. At the time, I missed the “Norwegian Wood” references in “In The End”. Today, the strongest song for me was “Welcome To Paradise”. Otherwise, “Dookie” has its longueurs, apart from a few nice bass breaks. But that's okay, Green Day delivered their masterpiece ten (!) years later—they deserve the development time.

Classic for GenX

some good songs

Vraiment Rock j’aime vraiment. C’est un rock passe partout. Même nos parents les connaissent. Ce son des paroles trashs mal qui rentrent dans la tête. On peut qualifier cette album comme l’album rock d’une génération. 7.5/10

Really good

An album I've heard so much about, but somehow never listened to. In fact, this will be the first Green Day album I've listened to in full. I already know the four singles, but all the other tracks are new to me. • Burnout is very much that typical Green Day sound • Having a Blast is too, but I think this song's chorus is really good • I like how Chump lead into Longview, it felt really natural • Longview has an iconic bass line, but I feel like the song doesn't have a ton going for it otherwise • Welcome to Paradise, on the other hand, is a great song. I especially love the backing vocals in the chorus • Pulling Teeth is a standout song so far, it's different to the band's usual style but I really like it • Basket Case is another iconic song and for good reason, but I've reached a point where I've heard it a bit too much now. However, it's still a great song, and I remember how much I liked it before I had heard it so much. • I like the backing vocals throughout She and and Sassafras Roots • When I Come Around is the last song I already know, and it's another I really like. It has a great bass line • All by Myself is super different to the rest of the album, with a different vocalist to boot This is a really solid album, coming from someone who isn't the biggest Green Day fan. They have a very distinct style, and it can get a bit repetitive when listening to an album in full, but they pull it off really well. The final stretch of the album, from Coming Clean onwards, didn't make as much of an impression on me as the first 10 tracks, but it is still a great, well-rounded album. Favourite song: Pulling Teeth

upbeat and fun, some i recognised

Gosh this takes me right back to being 16. Love it.

i do, in fact, have the time

Bem, esse é um álbum fundamental do estilo Pop Punk. Eu gosto dele no geral, embora ache às vezes que as melodias são demasiamente fáceis. Sim, é importante ter boas melodias, mas um pouco de dissonância também cai bem. Falta estranheza aqui (aparece um pouco na última faixa). Mas sim, são ótimas canções encadeadas uma após a outra, o que faz de Dookie quase um The Best of da banda. Alguns destaques: "Burnout", "Having a Blast", "Pulling Teeth" (mais delicada e com uma melodia muito boa), "Basket Case" (hit absoluto!), "She" (hit!), "When You Come Around" (hit!!!), "In The End" (essa eu gostei especialmente) e "All By Myself" (o disco encerra num tom de brincadeira e descompromisso).

pretty fire

Pop punk pooooooooop p7uuuun

This record really is great. Beyond the genre labels and the baggage that pop-punk picked up later, the core thing that stands out here is just how good this band is. The songwriting is sharp, the hooks are undeniable, and the performances are tighter than a lot of their peers. These songs move fast, but they aren’t sloppy or disposable. What impresses me most is how many of these tracks feel sturdy enough to translate beyond the style itself. Even stripped of speed and distortion, there’s real songcraft underneath. That’s not something you can say about a lot of albums that live in this lane. The melodies stick, the structures work, and the band knows exactly how to balance attitude with accessibility. I don’t think this quite reaches five-star territory for me, but that’s less a knock on Dookie than an acknowledgment of what comes later. In some ways, it feels like the foundation for what Green Day would fully realize on American Idiot, especially when it comes to emotional range and the ballads that really stretch their songwriting. Still, judged on its own terms, this is a classic for a reason. It’s energetic, confident, and far better than the genre’s reputation would suggest. Even now, it holds up as a reminder that great pop instincts and punk energy don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

I already like a lot of Green Day's songs, so I enjoyed this! A very upbeat punk album with relatable lyrics.

Couldn't tell you what the lyrics are, but the songs are great. 4.

well, I'm not a big fan of this style, but it's Green Day, you always enjoy listening to it. Of course, "Basket Case" is easily their best song, I also liked "when I come around" and "in the end", plus all by myself seems like a perfect ending to me.
